The Christmas Coat: Memories of My Sioux Childhood by Ellen Beier, Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve
5.0
A warm and beautifully illustrated story. A few things to consider for people using this as a resource in a library/school/church/etc. setting:
1. The moral of the story (that good things will come to you if you put others first) comes through clearly. You could also use this in a more religious/Sunday school setting by discussing divine providence. This is a very versatile story that could be told to different age groups and in different settings; it is appropriate for both religious or secular Christmas storytimes.
2. American Indian children and their families are portrayed without any of the usual stereotypes.
